Its September, already and one of my teenagers has gone back to school today...hooray! I have been very busy with fairs this summer and been loving each and every one of them. I have met fabulous people, sold lots of beads and had lots of giggles. Fairs are hard work, both before, during and even after, when you come home, tired and still have to unload the car, but they are worth it. I still have plenty of fairs left to do in the run up to Christmas...I know, terrible word in September!...and I have been making lots of holiday beads, I just can't help it, I am feeling all Halloweeny and Christmassy already. I have also been updating my Etsy shop and my new (improved) plan is to keep it updated and current, I am very bad at sitting down with a cup of tea and planning to do it in a minute..that minute never comes, but its no good prompting on line sales at fairs if you don't put anything in the shop! So just to re-cap, I do do custom orders, please just ask. I love making my fun beads and am always open to suggestions on what to do next, please remember though I don't copy designs, but I am willing to put your idea into glass. I love experiments! Just a few pics of what I have been putting into the Etsy shop click here

About Me

I am Laney, over 40 with fat thighs, wife to Jim - over 50 but we don't go there...mother of two young adults that behave like teenagers who still live at home and create lots of mess and chaos, and chief cuddle giver to Iz and Defi the Goldens, Gordy our little house cat with brain damage and Teeko, a 14 year old Birman who used to live next door and came to live with us May 2015.
